Sigasi 2.8

Export Project Makefile

Sigasi’s vcom integration is a
real time-saver for VHDL-design. But you may also want to build your
project in batch mode. A typical approach is to use
Makefiles for command
line builds. Sigasi can help you by generating a Makefile for
compiling your project with Modelsim.

In some cases you don’t need a Makefile, but you just need a list of
your VHDL files in the correct compilation order. For these cases we
offer an Export as CSV File wizard. This wizard generates a file
which lists the VHDL files in your project in a valid compile order. You
can use your own simple scripts to manipulate such list and run any EDA
tool, including simulators, synthesis and linter tools.

Example file (for the Sigasi tutorial project):

work, dut.vhd
work, clock_generator.vhd
work, testbench.vhd

Other new and noteworthy improvements

The modelsim.ini configuration file is now taken into account when
running vcom.

Better autocompletes:

We have cleaned up the VHDL templates

The use of UPPERCASE/lowercase in the STD and IEEE libraries (93
and 2008) is now more consistent. This results in consistent
casing of autocompletes from these libraries.

Added Autocomplete template for file declaration:

Added Autocomplete template for sequential assert statement

Bit string literals (e.g. X“0000CAFE”) are now
supported in the hierarchy/generics view

Added tutorial on library mapping

The timestamp is removed from the library mapping xml file
(.library_mapping.xml). This makes this file more version control
system friendly

line
